When it comes to train travel, 007 history shows that James Bond's journeys never fair very well.
But hardcore fans will get to experience a rail route in spy style on the brand new Skyfall train.
The East Coast operated service, was launched at King's Cross station by Miss Moneypenny herself, Naomie Harris, who admittedly looked far more dazzling than the train on display.

Don't Skyfall between the gap! Bond girl Naomie Harris looks sexy at the unveiling of the new 007 train
Wearing a blue dress - that somewhat matched the colour of the passenger seats inside - Naomie leaned against the shiny carriage next to a bumper sized image of Daniel Craig as the British spy.
As the first black woman to play Miss Moneypenny, the actress told MailOnline that she is 'very proud to represent women of colour' in the legendary role.
Sadly for passengers, Naomie won't be a permanent feature on the train.
All aboard: It leaves for Edinburgh from Kings Cross station in central London to promote the release of the DVD on Monday 18th February

The bespoke vehicle will take passengers on a traditional Flying Scotsman route between Waverley and London’s King’s Cross, on a series of journeys to mimic the one travelled by James Bond in the final scenes of Skyfall.
That journey saw Bond and M travel to his childhood home in Scotland - albeit in an Aston Martin - to face off the terrorist Silva.
All 11 carriages have been wrapped in Skyfall imagery, with the main cast of Naomie, Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench and Bérénice Marlohe blown up on the exterior, to celebrate the film's release on Blu-ray and DVD.
And even a platform at King's Cross has been renamed 007 for the occasion.

From Sunday morning, train travellers will be able to book a seat on the train and enjoy all the special features it has been fitted with.
Erik Lorincz designed the Martini cocktails seen in Skyfall and they will be served at the special bar on board.
They can be enjoyed at a passenger's seat or in the dedicated screening carriage that will show the box-office hit.
SkyFall is out on DVD & Blu-Ray from Monday 18th February.
On board cinema: One carriage will be given over to a dedicated Blu-ray screening lounge to watch the box-office hit
